APEX, N.C. -- North Carolina’s happiest startup, Happy Fix® (www.happyfix.com), joined hundreds of other vendors at the renowned Raleigh Flea Market at the NC State Fairgrounds Memorial Day Weekend for its first appearance at one of the Southeast’s most popular shopping destinations. In addition to selling popular items like Happy Caps, uber-comfy t-shirts, HPY bumper stickers, and Blast of Sunshine Koozies, Happy Fix recruited dozens of Happbassadors who connected with the positive lifestyle company’s mantra, “Happy Feels Good.”

“People were getting really excited about what we’re trying to do insofar as serving as a reminder that individuals are not limited by negative situations,” Stacy Menzies, company president said.

According to Menzies, a Happy Fix is something you do or have that helps you overcome negativity. “Feeling sad? Put on your Happy Cap and go for a walk. Rough Day at work? Come home and throw on your most comfortable Happy Fix shirt,” she explained, adding, “People have the power to make a conscious decision to stop negative thinking and populate their world with things that make them happy.

“Sometimes, people forget that.”

Thousands of shoppers of all ages passed by the Happy Fix booth over the company’s two-day appearance at the Flea Market, with a steady stream of people leaving notes about what makes them happy, including such things as camping, family, pets, reading, selling antiques, wine, bluegrass music and the mountains.

“My personal favorite was ‘riding the harley’ submitted by a wonderful woman visiting from New York state,” Menzies said.

The appearance at the Flea Market has resulted in an uptick in Happy Fix Twitter followers and Facebook likes, in addition to increased website traffic on HappyFix.com. The company is planning more pop-up stores at the venue throughout the summer, in addition to other North Carolina-based and regional events.

The Raleigh Flea Market features nearly a thousand vendors spread out between six buildings and several acres of fields and lots, hawking used books, bluegrass albums, North Carolina pottery, batteries, and barbecued pork. It is continually ranked as one of the most popular flea markets in the country, including a “top ten” ranking by CNN.

Happy Fix is committed to producing quality, sought-after products people love, available for purchase online and at events. The company’s smiling HPY oval brand design – furthering the concept that smiles elicit thoughts of happiness and joy – is featured on comfortable apparel and fun, long-lasting accessories.
